Do I Need a Permit in Oakleigh?
Oakleigh is in the City of Monash. Parts of Monash are covered by a Vegetation Protection Overlay, where a planning permit is needed to remove a tree with a trunk circumference over 50 cm at 1.2 m above ground. On all residential land, the statewide canopy-tree rule (Clause 52.37) also covers larger trees within 6 m of the front boundary or 4.5 m of the rear boundary.
Whether you need a permit in Monash depends on the overlay on your block, so we look it up before quoting and tell you on the spot.

Tree Removal in Oakleigh: Common Questions
How much does tree removal cost in Oakleigh?

Do I need a council permit to remove a tree in Oakleigh?
Oakleigh is in the City of Monash. If your property is under a Vegetation Protection Overlay, trees with a trunk over 50 cm around at 1.2 m high need a permit to remove. Elsewhere, the statewide canopy-tree rule applies to large trees near the front or rear boundary. We check your block before quoting.
How quickly can you quote in Oakleigh?
We're based on High Street, Kew East, so we can usually get to Oakleigh for a free on-site quote within 24 hours. We answer 24/7, so fallen or dangerous trees get a fast response day or night.
Do you clean up and take the green waste away?
Yes. Every job includes full clean-up: branches are chipped or taken away, logs removed and the site raked, so you're not left with a pile to deal with.
Can you remove a tree close to my house or fence in Oakleigh?
Yes. Tight backyards and trees over roofs are common in Oakleigh. We climb and lower the tree down in sections with ropes and rigging, so nothing drops on the house, fence or garden.
